For our anniversary this year, we stayed over at Montecasino’s Piazza Hotel. A little less elaborate than last year’s hot-air ballooning in Cappadocia. Nevertheless, a well-deserved and needed break. Also, a good time to reminisce and reflect on the past six years. It all starts with a Mimosa breakfast at Doppio Zero after which we … Continue reading Anniversario
